ENTERING-GUIDE FOR CALENDERING-ROLLS.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,283, dated December 29, 1885.

Application filed July 34,1895. Serial No.172,585. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: of a sliding movement along the rods; 2.1 Be it known that I, lllADISON II. CRAM, of also upon a rod, 70, which extends from one Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and the bearingstandards to the other at the sar State of Rhode Island, have invented a new height and parallel with the guide-r0610,

and useful Improvement in Entering-Guides placed the loose pulley Z. The weight E for Calender-Rolls, of which the following is provided with the upright ears m m, betwe a specification. which is pivoted the loose pulley 0, and t Heretofore it has been acomparatively difopposite weight, E, is in like manner p1 ficult and dangerous operation to thread the vided with the loose pulley n. The narrt 1o calender-rolls of a paper-machine or of a endless guide-belt F, when inits normal po cloth-calendering machine; and the object of tion, as shown in Fig. 3, passes from the o: my invention is to provide a simple and effiriage-pulleyf over the smaller end portion cient means for guiding the paper or cloth the top roll B, thence downward from side between the rolls wit-h certainty and precision; side between the smaller end portions of t and it consists in the combination,with the set rolls and under the bottom roll B, ther. of calender-rolls, of two narrow endless belts over the loose pulley j upon the rod h, th passing together between the rolls, and means under the loose pulley 0 of the weight E, a for shifting the location of the belt along the upward to the pulley f. The narrow endl rolls, as hereinafter fully set forth. belt G, which runs over the rolls B in cont:

The combination of a set of caleni z and j, the said pulleys being made capable rolls with the endless belts running from 01 site sides together between the rolls, and adapted for movement to and from the larger diameter of the rolls, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of a set of calenderrolls with the endless belts, the sliding ear-v riage adapted for guiding the endless belts along the surface of the rolls, and the weights adapted to compensate for the larger and smaller diameter of the rolls, substantially as 10 described.
